  • Yes doctors are all different. I was told not to gain more than 15lbs and then told if I didn't gain weight it was fine. I just couldn't LOSE weight. Well not more than a pound or two overall. Each doctor has a method and each patient has their own set of needs. Do what your doctor recommends. Just maintain reason with…
  • An addendum to the below, I have gained under recommended amounts while preggo (under my doctors care and after discussing it with them) but I had to be careful I was getting adequate nutrition. And at my weight I did chair aerobics for the beginning of my pregnancy and plenty of walking. It's not BAD to gain baby weight…
  • Definitely discuss this with your ob/gyn. First of all you need to understand that being pregnant means your body now needs MORE calories in order to maintain your weight. Whatever your caloric deficit is to make you lose weight RIGHT NOW will be FAR too much. Your body is starting to work VERY hard right now. Making a new…

  • I personally do not recommend any microwave meals. I think you could have had a much more satisfying lunch for less calories. I have a lean cuisine in the freezer for emergencies but I spend my lunch time calories on quick hearty stuff. Those micro meals are SO salty, so flavorless and such a small amount of food. Try…
  • You know how there are often food "buffets" at work? Like it's raining so company provides free pizza? OR it's a really snowy day so your boss brings in dunkin donuts? Yea, I NEVER have a problem here. Ever. I never eat that crap. Free food is such a big deal for people. Why? Why is it when my office had pizza 7 different…
  • I've had 3 babies. After all 3 pregnancies my legs filled with water and in the hospital I was told I needed to drink water to eliminate it. (When you're preggo your body holds water, when you give birth is goes to yoru extremeties.) The more water I drank the faster it flushed out. I would suggest against any sort of…
  • If you want flavor, add a tiny bit of veggie stock, enough to cook out. If you want like garlic to stick or something. You could also "GRILL". Use a broiler pan or just stick heartier ones ON the rack with a sheet pan underneath the rack.
  • Silpat in the pan OR parchment paper OR parchment lined foil OR quick release foil. All will not stick and all add no fat :o) You can also do a foil pouch. I make Vinny's baby food by roasting in foil a lot. Makes carrots AWESOME.
